Sandbag lunges?? you gotta be kiddin!!

So it rains for the first time in 982 years (ok slight exaggeration)....which throws the plan for today off a little..instead of this fun:
- 200 meter sandbag carry (75/50 lb)
- 20 kettlebell swings (24/16 kg)
- 200 meter sandbag carry
- 20 front squats (95/65 lbs)
- 200 meter sandbag carry
- 20 box jumps (24"/20")
- 200 meter sandbag carry
- 20 pushups
the, oh so pleasant, sandbag carries are each replaced by 40 lunges....20 per leg...with the 50 lb sandbag on board.....
what the heck is that?? What sadistic mind thought of this torture...??
But I did it: 17:07
...lunges were lame thanks to a bit of a pull in my left quadricep, the evil jump rope strikes again. I am beginning to think the little innocent jump rope is actually my biggest nemesis - it causes me more pain than anything. Smarmy little bastard rope!

So - yesterday was fun bench press/ pull up - still can't do pull ups worth a darn...but I'm hanging on to my pull-up envy, so maybe someday. I love bench press!! It makes me feel strong like She-Ra!! Driving home yesterday I was feelin' all cool and buff...too bad the image in my head doesn't match the mirror! Ah well, it's the little things. So - back to the bench press...I ended up doing 67 reps at 115 lbs. Wouldn't you think I could do a measly 3 at 145??? huh......Kooky.

Well, I'm off to lovely Lake Sakakawea in ND........anyone and everyone who reads this and is going on the hike Saturday - have a super-duper time!! Wish I could join ya!...next time.
